The Ships are arriving at McMurdo!

First the Russian Icebreaker "Vladimir Ignatyuk", then the research vessel "Nathanial B. Palmer", next comes the tanker "Maersk Peary" and finally the resupply vessel the "Ocean Giant". It all means the end of the summer season here in Antarctica. The field camps are all closed down and the South Pole flights stopped yesterday. Folks are leaving with all kinds of travel plans or going home and moving onto the next chapter in their lives. New places, new adventures and new opportunities.

About Me

I love to travel, it restores my faith in humanity. I love my friends, they ground me. Though my heart belongs to Alaska, a place I lived for 20 wonderful years, I am bound to no one place and seem to find the need to explore our world regularly. One of these days I want roots, or at least a place for all my souvenirs.
